Homeopathy found to be more effective in Viral fever epidemic & PVF arthritis in KeralaIn the last 2-3 years, homeopathic medicines were found to be more effective both as a preventive and curative in epidemic fevers of Kerala – like viral fever, chikungunya, dengue, hepatitis etc.

Many of the Govt. homeopathic hospitals and private clinics are packed with patients suffering with various viral fevers.
Majority of the Kerala population now depending mainly on homeopathic medicines for PVF Squeal – post viral fever arthritis and related symptoms and disabilities.

Homeopathy medicine can offer effective cure with in the shortest time with out any side effects comparing to other systems of medicine in viral fevers.

A separate PVF Squeal ward also started with Physiotherapy Unit. This physiotherapy unit is the largest in Kerala under Govt. sector.

All the OPD have separate facility for fever patients. Doctors are available round the clock. The college got wide media coverage after starting the fever wards and fever OPDs.

Preventive medicine were distributed to more than 1.5 lakh people.
The College will conduct a statistical study both on the preventive and curative aspect of homeopathy treatment given and will submit to Govt. soon.

The fevers now prevailing in kerala can be considered as acute epidemic diseases

Aphorism 73Allied to these are those diseases in which many persons are attacked with very similar sufferings from the same cause (epidemically); these diseases generally become infectious (contagious) when they prevail among thickly congregated masses of human beings.

Foot note 17A striking fact in corroboration of this is, that whilst previously to the year 1801, when the smooth scarlatina of Sydenham still occasionally prevailed epidemically among children, it attacked without exception all children who had escaped it in a former epidemic; in a similar epidemic which I witnessed in Konigslutter, on the contrary, all the children who took in time a very small dose of belladonna remained unaffected by this highly infectious infantile disease. If medicines can protect from a disease that is raging around, they must possess a vastly superior power of affecting our vital force.

Aphorism 100In investigating the totality of the symptoms of epidemic and sporadic diseases it is quite immaterial whether or not something similar has ever appeared in the world before under the same name or any other name.

Aphorism 101It may easily happen that in the first case of an epidemic disease that presents itself to the physician’s notice he does not at once obtain a knowledge off its complete picture, as it is only by a close observation of several cases of every such collective disease that he can become conversant with the totality of its signs and symptoms.

The carefully observing physician can, however, from the examination of even the first and second patients, often arrive so nearly at a knowledge of the true state as to have in his mind a characteristic portrait of it, and even to succeed in finding a suitable, homoeopathically adapted remedy for it.

Aphorism 240But if the remedy found to be the homoeopathic specific for a prevalent epidemic of intermittent fever do not effect a perfect cure in some one or other patient, if it be not the influence of a marshy district that prevents the cure, it must always be the psoric miasm in the background, in which case the antipsoric medicines must be employed until complete relief is obtained.

Aphorism 242If, however, in such an epidemic intermittent fever the first paroxysms have been left uncured, or if the patients have been weakened by improper

allopathic treatment; then the inherent psora that exists, alas! in so many persons, although in a latent state, becomes developed, takes on the type of the intermittent fever, and to all appearance continues to play the part of the epidemic intermittent fever, so that the medicine, which would have been useful in the first paroxysms (rarely an antipsoric), is now no longer suitable and cannot be of any service.

Kent’s lesser writings

A rational use of curative agents

After taking many cases symptoms must be written in Hahnemannian scheme ie under regional headings

All the symptoms gathered must be considered to be taken from single person

General sytmptoms must be considered first followed by particulars

Great mistakes may come from going too deeply into particulars before the generals are settled.

Chronic diseases

Nature of chronic diseasesThe Homoeopathic healing art, as taught in my own writings and in those of my pupils, when faithfully followed, has hitherto shown its natural superiority over any allopathic treatment in a very decided and striking manner; and this not only in those diseases which suddenly attack men (the acute diseases), but also in epidemic diseases and in sporadic fevers.

PsoraBut during the treatment of chronic diseases by antipsoric remedies we often need the other non-antipsoric store of medicines in cases where epidemic diseases or intermediate diseases (morbi intercurrentes) arising usually from meteoric and telluric causes attack our chronic patients, and so not only temporarily disturb the treatment, but even interrupt it for a longer time.

Here the other homoeopathic remedies will have to be used, wherefore I shall not enter upon this here, except to say that the antipsoric treatment will have for the time to be totally discontinued, so long as the treatment of the epidemic disease which has also seized our (chronic) patient may last, even if a few weeks in the worst cases may thus be lost. But here also, if the disease is not too severe, the above mentioned method of applying the medicine by smelling a moistened pellet is often sufficient to help, and the cure of the acute disease may thus be extraordinarily shortened.

The intelligent homoeopathic physician will soon note the point of time when his remedies have completed the cure of the epidemic intermediate disease and when the peculiar course of the chronic (psoric) malady is continued. The symptoms of the original chronic disease will, however, always be found somewhat varied after the cure of such a prevailing intermediate disease.

Also another part of the body will be found suffering, so that the homoeopathic physician will choose his antipsoric remedy according to the totality of the remaining symptoms, and not simply give the one he intended to give before the intermediate disease appeared.

Here is a fitting opportunity to note that the great epidemic diseases: smallpox, measles, purple rash, scarlet fever, whooping cough, fall dysentery and typhoid, when they complete their course especially without a judicious homoeopathic treatment, leave the organism so shaken and irritated, that with many who seem restored, the psora which was before slumbering and latent now awakes quickly, either into itch-like eruptions or into other chronic disorders, which then reach a high degree in a short time, if they are not treated properly in an antipsoric manner.

Epidemic and sporadic fevers, therefore, as well as the miasmatic acute diseases, if they do not soon terminate and pass directly over into good health, (even when the epidemic and acute miasmatic part has found a homoeopathic specific which has been rightly used against them), often need an antipsoric assistance, which I have usually found in sulphur, if the patient had not used shortly before a medicine containing sulphur, in which case another antipsoric suitable to this particular case will have to be used.
